There is now robust science-based evidence supporting the finding that a chiropractic developed method of lumbar traction may provide long-term relief to people suffering from low back pain, leg (radicular) pain with the added benefit of better nerve flow (nerve conductivity H-reflex). (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22684211)

As with most research investigating the effectiveness of chiropractic developed traction compared to spinal mobilisation, muscle exercises and cognitive therapy, the stronger proof of evidence of extension traction is seen at the one-year follow-up. Most randomized control trials that include a one-year follow-up where patients received only spinal mobilisation, exercise and cognitive therapy regressed back to where they started (worsened) whilst patients receiving extension traction obtained an on-going improvement.

Teak iPad and Laptop Stands

Do you have neck pain?

Consistently stretching your neck ligaments for as little as 20 minutes a day in the wrong direction may cause spinal deformity leading to neck pain, headaches, tight shoulders and hunch back (Thoracic Hyperkyphosis).

Dr Michael Epstein of Epstein Chiropractors has designed iPad and laptop stands, in teak wood, for both desktop and bed use. They are designed to provide superior posture support whilst working, playing or reading. They are sold online and from the Epstein Chiropractors clinic in St Ives Shopping Village in Northern Sydney.
